“Notice that autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature.” ~ Friedrich Nietzsche
Tis’ the season when we’re moved by the dramatic changes of color, the cooler weather, the descending darkness, and the barren branches.
This is a time that allows us to move into a deeper awareness that we live in a continual cycle of living and dying. It focuses on the vulnerability of life, emphasizing how vital it is to embrace the present.
No time is better than the present to let go of anything that undermines our path.
A time to let go of anger and bitterness,
to let go of relationships or jobs that no longer serve us,
letting go of judgment for ourselves and for all humanity.
This is a universal principle – to grow, we must release something. And in doing so, we can replace it with joy, self-compassion, and kindness.
This is exactly what I love about autumn. It brings us back to ourselves and the things we can let go of.

Autumn really is a special season and yes just as the trees let go of their leaves to renew themselves so what a great idea for us to do the same.

Its a very spiritual season. My sister died in fall and when ever the tree in my backyard loses its leaves I remember her and am reminded of the Autumn she died. It is so true endings mean that new beginnings can soon come. ❤

The veil of separation is at its thinnest this time of year. It’s easier to connect with our loved ones on the other side. Messages/thoughts of your sister comes thru as a sign she’s doing well. 💜

Yes she had am amazing spirit that was so bound and shackled in earthly life. I like to think she is freer in the spiritual dimension. ❤

This seems to be the season I get itchy feet and want to travel. Maybe that’s related to shedding all of the things not serving us.
